Just use minibuffer-electric-default-mode.

However, it doesn't work correctly with the current dired-x prompt
due to its non-standard syntax.  minibuffer-electric-default-mode
changes this prompt:

! on * [3 files]: {3 guesses} [ghostview]

into

! on * 

i.e. it deletes everything between the first and the last bracket.

I think with omitting the useless number of guesses, the prompt
should look like:

! on * (3 files) [ghostview]: 

or

! on * {3 files} (default ghostview):
